Planning a School Visit

The Silk Mill is the only working textile mill in the south of England and offers unique learning opportunities in cross-curricular activities for KS 1-4

You can choose a practical 2 hour session led by our education officer or curriculum based activities devised by you or suggested by us, depending on the needs of your group.

There is a minimum charge of £40 for weaving and £60 for felting or silk painting. There is no charge for accompanying adults. Prices include VAT

Weaving, fabric testing and Victorians £4.00
Silk painting, felting £6.00
   
Visits to schools for a half day weaving £120 plus mileage
Visits to schools for a full day £175 plus mileage
For felting or silk painting please add £50 to the above costs

We recommend a visit led by our Education Officer (Click here for full details of Educational Activities). We treat each group as unique and the content of each visit is adapted to meet the needs of your specific group.

You are welcome to make a free planning visit. Please follow the link for Ideas on how to use the Silk Mill for teacher led visits.
